Yugyd Va National Park, Komi Republic

“Bright water” is exactly how the name of the park is translated into Russian.

Yugyd Va is one of the most sparsely populated national parks in Russia: there are practically no permanent settlements on its territory. In the past, representatives of the northern indigenous peoples - Mansi, Nenets, Khanty - led a nomadic lifestyle here.

Silent evidence of those times includes the preserved names of mountains, rivers, lakes, and tracts.
